Why this course

Renewal in Everyday Life

Many believers want to care well for themselves and others, but feel unsure where to begin. Scripture calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This course shows you how that renewal looks in everyday life. You will learn to talk about emotions wisely, understand how the brain and relationships work in healing, and build a theology of suffering and care that is faithful and practical.
